Humor and Entertainment?

Here's another dumb Amazon suggestion:

I don't think that purportedly nonfiction books about the murder of an American president qualify as "Humor & Entertainment."  Fail, Amazon!

See you on Monday.  Have a safe Fourth of July.  Give thanks that, despite the failings of men, this country strives to be a home of equality and aspiration.  It's up to YOU to help achieve that lofty goal.

Celebrate July Like It's 1971!

Here are the header art and calendar page for the 1970-1971 PsychoFLAIRapy calendar.

I guess in Flair Land, the sky doesn't get blue or black at night, it goes brown.  I only counted about 31 stars, so it's a toss-up as to WHOSE flag it is.  I think there are more than 13 stripes, too.

You can tell I went all obsessive-compulsive with the red and blue Flairs on the calendar page.  And on the 26th, we celebrate the Jung-at-heart.

See you later, campers!

Snooty Types Discover LOTR

This is fiercely photocopied from the January 16, 1956 The New Republic.




More accurately, a bound copy, which explains the tight margin.  Sorry!

See you on Thursday with more what-have-you.

I'm Also a Stooge!

 ... besides being a Marxist, that is.






This article is from the May 1984 issue of Video magazine.  After admiring Drew Friedman's beautiful pointillistic portrait, read the article ... and don't forget to drool over the hi-tech products available in the display ads!

See you on Thursday.

A Smattering of Ads from April 1981

 These ads are a slice of mercantile life from the April 27, 1981 issue of Newsweek.



To celebrate the US Space Shuttle Columbia's maiden flight on April 12, NASA contractor Rockwell International ran the following three-page spread:


An interesting tidbit is the fact that the last two pages of this spread ran on the Time of the same date, where these two silver pages were the center spread for Time.  In Newsweek, the three pages were not the center spread.

See you on Monday with more pop-culture scrapings, campers!
